Control, fear, doubt and anger, these are the deadly killers of the human race. We hurt 16 by feeling these emotions and we hurt others by directing these emotions at them.
17 what would happen if we could selflessly and 18 (gentle) direct unconditional love to whomever we meet? We’d certainly help ourselves. Why do we let other people hurt us? Because we put expectations on them, expectations we ourselves to 19 (fail) to live up to with others. Look at children. We still love our children when they disappoint us. Why not our workmates, teachers, friends and most of all partners? It’s because we put conditions on 20 we give out.
Many of us bought a present or did a job expecting something 21 return. But if you want to help someone just because you want to, no other reason than just because you want to — that is showing love. You can help 22 old lady with her groceries and it feels good so why not with everything else? When you learn that 23 (give) love without expectation is the 24 (pure) of all faith, then and only then, you will be on the road 25 really knowing yourself. And knowing yourself can really help you conquer “control, fear, doubt and anger.”

The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and 41 media that offer a lot more 42 (colour) programs. Books are history!”

But an even more important point is 45 books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.
Though “easy” may be welcome, 46 (luck) it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品) for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply 47 (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself 48 (mean) that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, 49 while you are reading, you’ll find that what once 50 (seem) like a duty is now a pleasure
